I haven't at the PAL vs. SECAM vs. NTSC stats for several years, but I do
believe whilst that may be true, SECAM has a slightly different resolution
to PAL.
Which countries (other than France) use SECAM? I know UK and Australia use
PAL and NTSC is used by Japan and USA. Is there a map somewhere showing
which countries use(d) which?

Though isn't SECAM essentially PAL but with the colour encoded slightly
differently. e.g. if you feed a SECAM signal to a PAL display you get a
picture that is black and white.
(And to those with experience with Eastern Euro
machines, what is
needed to run them on US power? Just a 220v->110v converter, or does
the video have to be processed from PAL->NTSC as well?)
Bulgaria in those days wouldn't have been PAL. They would have been
using SECAM.
